Who doesn’t love those beautiful from Hobby Lobby knobs? One problem that I frequently run across when working with vintage furniture is that the holes in drawers are never the same. This creates a problem that can be fixed one of two ways. I’ll show you both.

Hobby Lobby Knobs

I found these mercury glass decorativeknobs from Hobby Lobby and I knew I had to have them . So girly and absolutely perfect for my project! But, there was just a slight problem…

The hole in the drawer was a lot larger than the screw on the hardware. This created a problem. The way I see it, I had two options here.

Fill the hole with wood filler , allow it to dry, sand it with sandpaper till smooth, and redrill the hole to the appropriate size. I would use my Ryobi drill for this kind of job.

That’s too much work! The more than likely I would have to repaint the whole drawer too going this route.

The Solution To The Problem

2. Use a fender washer to create a larger surface for the nut to secure to the back. This is an easier way to work around holes that are too large for the Hobby Lobby Knobs.
